"Enemy attack! The Japanese plane is coming!"
"Quick, get on the plane and fight!"
Just as Li Hang took the food, he suddenly changed his expression when he heard the siren. He quickly returned the bag to Chen Lu, "The Japanese plane is coming, I'll leave first."
After taking two steps, Li Hang stopped and turned around to tell Chen Lu, "Go back quickly and find a place to hide. Don't stay near the airport. The airport is dangerous."
"You guys, take your eldest lady to a safe place, quickly!"
After saying that, Li Hang quickly ran towards the dormitory.
When Chen Lu saw Li Hang leaving in a hurry, she suddenly felt uneasy and felt that he would never come back once he left.
She wanted to stop the other party and say a few more words, but the accompanying bodyguard listened to Li Hang's suggestion, took her directly back to the car, and then quickly drove away from the airport.
It's safer to go anywhere than near the airport.
Li Hang quickly ran back to the dormitory, only to see Lu Jichun and others doing nothing there.
"Captain, what should we do? We don't have a plane!"
"Why did those bastards from the Fifth Group take off the plane so early? Are we just watching?"
But Li Hang hurriedly opened his luggage, took out his flight suit and quickly put it on.
"Li Hang, what do you want to do?"
Someone noticed Li Hang's actions.
"Of course God will fight!"
"Where did you get the plane..." Lu Jichun paused after speaking, because Li Hang did have a plane.
"I will fly that Type 96. The role can only be effective if I fly that aircraft."
Lu Jichun hesitated for a moment, and then shouted to the people around him, "What are you doing standing still? Help!"
Then everyone hurriedly gathered around to help Li Hang put on his flight suit and other equipment, and then followed him to the apron.
Compared to them, who were a little slower, the 21st and 22nd Squadrons stationed at the airport and an I-15 Squadron of the Soviet Air Force supporting China had already started taking off.
Originally, the 22nd Squadron was to withdraw to Xiangyang to rest and replenish new aircraft and pilots, because after the previous war, they only had seven aircraft left, one of which was somewhat damaged and needed time to repair, which meant that there were only six aircraft. Can be used in combat.
"Li Hang, what are you doing? You don't have to participate in the war today." When he saw Li Hang running to the Type 96 carrier-based fighter in his flight suit, Li Guidan, who had just boarded his I-16, immediately yelled at him stand up.
"Captain, it is impossible for me to watch you fight in the sky from the ground. I am familiar with the performance of this aircraft, and my role will be greater if I go up."
After saying that, Li Hang quickly climbed onto the plane, started the plane skillfully, and then gave an OK gesture to Lu Jichun and the ground staff on the tarmac.
"Li Hang, come back safely!"
"Li Hang, set another record and teach us a lesson!"
"No problem, I will shoot down a Japanese plane for each of the four of you." Li Hang laughed.
"What about yourself?"
"Of course I have to fight five battles for myself. I can't do any worse than you, right?"
"Just brag!"
Amid a burst of laughter and curses, Li Hang drove the plane and entered the take-off runway. Before taking off, he raised his thumb to Li Guidan who had already started to take off, and then quickly pushed the operating lever to accelerate the plane to take off.
At this time, at Hankou Airport, in addition to several reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft, the combat aircraft included 10 I-15s from a squadron of the China Aid Air Force, 10 I-16s from the 21st Squadron, 6 I-15s from the 22nd Squadron, and 23 I-15s from the 23rd Squadron. The squadron has one Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet, which is 27 fighter jets.
Over at Xiaogan Airport, there is also a squadron of 10 I-16s and a squadron of 9 I-15s from the Chinese Air Force.
There are 46 fighter jets in total, which is not a lot.
Of course, what they didn't know was that in order to retaliate for the previous failed air attack, the Japanese Navy dispatched 30 Type 96 carrier-based fighters and 24 Type 96 land attack aircraft, for a total of 54 fighters.
As a result, China and Japan may erupt in the largest air battle since the war began over Wuhan.
. . . . . .
"Hurry, drive quickly!"
"What's going on? You can't even drive?"
Seeing the car in front driving so slowly, the driver in the car behind couldn't help but curse.
But he was obviously angry and talking nonsense, because the road ahead was full of panicked pedestrians. After the air raid siren sounded this time, the citizens of the three towns in Wuhan were still panicked.
Especially after seeing the planes in the sky.
Because more than 20 planes took off from Hankou Airport at once, and thinking of the air battle ten days ago, these people naturally knew that the matter was serious, so they all fled in a panic.
And this also makes many roads impassable because the streets are full of pedestrians.
"Awei, if we don't stop, we can't walk, there are people everywhere."
"Miss..."
Just when Ah Wei was anxious, there was a sudden explosion in the sky that made the citizens below all look up in unison.
Visibly to the naked eye, a plane was shot down.
They had only been out of the airport for less than ten minutes, and the air battle had already broken out, which was evident.
Ah Wei was also frightened. It was not safe to run around at this time. He immediately drove the car to an alley and hid it, and then ordered another Ford to follow him.
"Miss, it's dangerous outside!"
Seeing Chen Lu running to the street to observe the air battle, Ah Wei was so frightened that he quickly chased after her.
"Don't mind me, it depends on which side the plane fell." Chen Lu looked at the sky seriously.
Ah Wei and the others had no choice but to look up at the sky, trying to identify with the naked eye which side of the plane had fallen.
The sky at this time was already in chaos.
When Li Guidan and other Chinese and Soviet pilots took off, they discovered that the situation was more serious than they imagined.
They took off 27 fighter planes from Hankou Airport, but there were more Japanese fighter planes in front of them.
There were at least fifty or sixty fighters in front and bombers in the back.
How to fight this?
Thinking that the China Aid Air Force fighter jets taking off from Xiaogan Airport would arrive in a few minutes, Li Guidan and other 27 pilots jumped into the battle without thinking.
But as soon as the war started, the Chinese Air Force fell into a disadvantage.
It's very simple. The Japanese army has a total of 30 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets and 24 Type 96 land attack aircraft this time.
Based on the summary of the failure of previous air strikes, this time, the Japanese army left 12 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets to escort, and the remaining 18 served as vanguards to clear out Chinese fighters in the air.
Even at 27 versus 18, the balance of the battle still favored the Japanese.
Because among these 27 fighters, only 10 I-16s and the Type 96 carrier-based fighter piloted by Li Hang can compete with the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets. The remaining 16 Yi-15 fighter jets can fight one-on-one. It is no match for the Type 96 carrier-based fighter.
So just after the war started, an I-15 was destroyed, belonging to the 22nd Squadron.
